Burapha Mushroom Farm is located in Moo 1, Makham Khu Subdistrict, Nikhom Phatthana District, Rayong. It is an organic agriculture learning center focusing on mushroom cultivation. Visitors can learn the complete process from start to finish, from selecting strains, incubation, fruiting, to harvesting, with staff on hand to provide detailed guidance. It is suitable for general visitors, students, and farmers who want to build on their knowledge toward a livelihood.

 

The farm cultivates various mushrooms such as oyster, straw, shiitake, abalone, and shimeji. All are grown in controlled environments with proper temperature and humidity to ensure high-quality and safe produce. There is also a demonstration zone where visitors can try making mushroom substrate blocks themselves, along with friendly explanations of care techniques at each step.

 

Beyond learning activities, the farm operates a health-focused restaurant using pesticide-free vegetables from its plots and fresh mushrooms grown on-site. Recommended dishes include mixed mushroom spicy salad, three-flavor mushroom tom yum, herbal crispy mushrooms, and shiitake fried rice. Every dish is cooked by skilled cooks without MSG, using only fresh farm ingredients. The airy, nature-surrounded setting makes it ideal for families or groups to relax.

 

Another popular spot is the rabbit zone, where children and parents can interact with the animals up close. It’s a delightful activity that nurtures a sense of care for animals, and there are photogenic corners with rabbits and mushroom houses for memorable shots to take home.

 

For those who want to start growing mushrooms themselves, Burapha Mushroom Farm sells a full range of materials and equipment, such as quality spawn blocks, sawdust, plastic grow bags, humidity-control devices, and fermentation drums, along with expert advice on care and production planning. The farm also offers processed mushroom products—like crispy mushrooms, seasoned mushrooms, and mushroom sauce—popular as healthy souvenirs.

 

The farm places strong emphasis on environmental conservation by turning leftover materials from cultivation into organic compost, reducing waste while enriching the soil. It also grows pesticide-free vegetables for use in its restaurant, reflecting a “circular and sustainable agriculture” concept that serves as a model for the surrounding community.

 

Getting There is convenient by private car from downtown Rayong along the Rayong–Nikhom Phatthana Road. The drive takes about 30 minutes. Clear signage leads to the farm, and there is ample parking, suitable for families and group visits.
